How the day runs
Johannesburg is a city of neighbourhoods and weekends. Saturdays often mean an open-air market, a long lunch on Parkhurst's high street or, in October, a walk under the jacarandas; dinner is from about seven. People dress smart-casual, a little smarter in Sandton. Family gatherings are often a braai in the garden, and at the city's altitude the evenings get cool even in summer.
Getting around
This is a driving city, and ride-hailing door to door is the easiest way between neighbourhoods, especially at night. The Gautrain links Rosebank and Sandton with Pretoria and OR Tambo airport — handy for family in Pretoria or meeting a flight — but it does not run late. Inside Rosebank or Melrose Arch you can walk.
When Johannesburg is busiest
Summer, October to March, brings warm days and short afternoon thunderstorms. October is jacaranda season, when the northern suburbs turn purple. Christmas and the summer holidays are the big family weeks, and many residents leave for the coast in December, so the city is quieter. Winter, June to August, is dry and sunny with cold nights.
Questions about Johannesburg
Is a family visit to Pretoria realistic in a day?
Yes. The Gautrain from Rosebank or Sandton reaches Pretoria quickly, and the visit fits comfortably into one day. Agree in the plan which train you take back, because the service does not run late.
What's a good day out?
A Saturday market, lunch in Parkhurst and an afternoon walk — or, in October, a drive through the jacaranda-lined northern suburbs. Easy, public and relaxed.
Will the summer storms spoil a day?
Usually for an hour at most. Afternoon thunderstorms arrive quickly and clear quickly, so plan an indoor stop for the late afternoon and carry on afterwards.
